Discombobulated with Bobby Jaycox

Ever had a week where your nose, wallet, and patience all tapped out at once? That’s where we start—sinus pressure, neon boogers, and a confession that sometimes the only thing standing between you and a breakdown is a dumb joke that lands just right. From there, we spiral into money stress, tax avoidance fantasies, and the rude awakening of tracking protein like it’s a second job. Four hard-boiled eggs, a shake, a slab of beef, and still barely hitting the number—because apparently survival now requires a spreadsheet.

The turning point arrives at a small Me...

New Year’s fireworks fade fast, and what’s left is the same life you had yesterday. That’s the starting point we embrace: skip the performance, keep the humor, and pick choices that make today feel lighter. We riff on sleeping through midnight, bailing on loud parties, and why Times Square’s diaper culture is the opposite of a good memory. The throughline is simple and stubbornly human—feeling better beats pretending to be better.

We go from body comedy to honest care: yoga mishaps, back gripes, and the art of not sitting on your own anatomy be...

A snowbitten comic lands in Orlando and immediately melts—layers on, ear out, patience thin. That whiplash becomes a perfect lens for everything we talk through: why airports turn decent people frantic, how airline rules make standby feel mythical, and what it means to chase a dream that pays in drink tickets and doubt as often as it pays in cash. We stay with the mess long enough for it to get funny, then keep going until it gets honest.

We pull apart the logic of customer service mazes and the silent tax of being broke on th...

The night your back decides it runs your life, every choice turns tactical. That’s where we start: a no-move sleep position, a desperate attempt to dodge sciatica, and the inconvenient comedy of crying quietly at 4:30 a.m. without alarming the house. From there, the ride swerves through canceled gigs, algorithm pep talks that last exactly one second, and the weird economy of making people laugh while your spine negotiates with gravity.

We get honest about money, pride, and the grind of being an “unknown comic” who still has to wake up grateful, lace shoes, and stretch before...

A beach, a phone on 0.5 zoom, and a comedian trying to outrun a stubborn year—this one starts fast and refuses to walk it back. We kick things off with a flurry of winter tour dates and then throw ourselves into the Gulf-side chaos: strangers staring, cargo ships hulking on the horizon, and the mind game of recording while the world pretends not to notice. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s honest about what touring feels like when the budget is thin and the calendar is full.

We dig into concert joy and the sacred a...

The day starts with a jolt: I wake up on the wrong piece of furniture and my back files a formal complaint down both legs. From there, everything turns into an offbeat survival guide—how to stand when you can’t, why stretching is the new humility, and what happens when laughter is the only thing that keeps a pain spiral from eating the whole day. Along the way I confess my love-hate with AI, the climate guilt that had me one click away from ordering bug protein, and the ridiculous debate over Vans versus Hokas when your spine is c...

The plan was simple: leave St. Louis before the snow hits, beat the storm, make it back in time for tour. What actually happens is a slow-motion thriller on unplowed highways that morphs into a funny, unguarded exploration of fear, masculinity theater, and the messy work of healing. I talk through the white-knuckle ramps, the “sport mode will save me” delusion, and why following a semi at a respectful distance can feel like spiritual practice when the lanes disappear.

Between jolts of panic and relief, I aim the jokes at big-truck swagger, Bass Pro cosplay, and the myth...

The day starts with fart etiquette and donuts and somehow ends with a heartfelt riff on friendship, parenting, and the strange rules of public bathrooms. That’s tour life: messy, loud, and full of tiny moments that turn into the stories we repeat for years. With our favorite chaos magnet Cactus Tate back on the mic, we stumble through airport bathroom mix-ups, “rocks don’t float” river logic, and the unflinching honesty that only comes from living shoulder to shoulder on the road.

We go there: hemorrhoids, period logistics, and why menthol pads are a war crime. But the...

The day starts under a gray sky and a loud pavilion, and somehow that flimsy roof becomes a philosophy. We kick off by turning “you can’t corner me, I’m in a pavilion” into a whole worldview about space, safety, and the strange etiquette of public shelters. From there, the story jumps to Peoria’s Jukebox Comedy Club, where a broken chair and a grumpy Richard Pryor portrait spark a set built on pure presence. It’s a reminder that the best bits often arrive when you stop trying to force them and just play with what’s in front of yo...

A closed hotel pool, a hot parking lot, and an angry ant hill aren’t the villains—they’re the chorus. Episode 100 lands mid-bite and mid-thought, which turns out to be the most honest place to take stock of a life on stage. We talk about addiction-level love for Story of the Year’s new song Gasoline, daydreams of skipping lunch for a KTM, and how the road strips away your excuses until only the work is left. That’s where the real conversation starts: anxiety that pretends to be effort, the strange ritual of staying calm all day just to sp...

A sunrise at the Arch, a long overnight drive, and a confession most of us dodge: sometimes the tears just don’t stop, and the only thing that steadies you is the road. We head back to St. Louis to face a stack of old memories—prom photos, a busted elbow, a skyline that still knows too much—and use humor to navigate the heaviness. It’s raw without being bleak, funny without being flippant, and honest about how weird and human it is to cry next to someone you love while pretending you’re fine.

We dig into t...

What happens when you combine perfect hoodie weather, exceptionally potent cannabis, and sidewalks that require the vigilance of a bomb squad technician? Welcome to Portland, Oregon – a city that demands you look up at its breathtaking beauty while carefully watching every step.

The contradictions of Portland create the perfect backdrop for reflection. One moment I'm admiring the stunning architecture and fall colors painting the sky in magnificent hues, the next I'm dodging "dog" waste with the agility of an Olympic athlete. This constant shifting between appreciation and avoidance becomes a metaphor for life itself – finding beauty despite obst...

The open road has a way of pulling profound thoughts from even the most distracted minds. Cruising down highways lined with autumn-kissed trees, this episode captures the stream-of-consciousness reflection that can only happen behind the wheel.

Bob takes us on a wild journey through his recent gambling misadventures, road trip observations, and poignant reflections on aging in this deeply personal episode of Discombobulated.

The casino has a way of making us forget everything we know about math and probability. Bob's $240 loss becomes a springboard for exploring the psychology behind gambling – the magical thinking, the superstitions, and the desperate attempts to recoup losses that only lead deeper into the hole. Despite the financial setback, he finds humor in the situation, celebrating the small victory of not visiting the ATM or bumming a cigarette.
Duration: 00:33:14

Dive into the unexpected as I broadcast live from a bubble bath in a Roman-themed fantasy hotel room in Edmonton, Canada! This episode captures the beautiful absurdity of comedian life on the road – homeless but somehow lounging in luxury accommodations that feel straight out of a movie.

The cultural differences between America and Canada come alive through everyday experiences that are slightly tilted from what we're used to. There's something fascinating about walking through a McDonald's drive-thru (they actually encourage it here!), sampling Canadian cannabis that hits differently than stateside varieties, and watching television that alternates between fa...

Travel disasters have never been so entertaining! When my carefully measured carry-on luggage wouldn't fit in the overhead compartment and I spilled an entire coffee on the airplane floor, I knew this week was destined to become podcast gold.

Ever caught yourself nodding politely while your Uber driver shares their life story at 3 AM? Or perhaps you've been that driver, watching a clearly intoxicated passenger try to maintain a conversation? This episode dives headfirst into the bizarre social ecosystem of rideshare culture from both sides of the app.

Between announcing a packed summer tour schedule (come see me in Seattle, Portland, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia, and my Canadian debut in Edmonton!), I'm unpacking the strange intimacy that forms in the backseat of a stranger's car. From crying in an Uber only to have the driver suggest that "...

What does it really mean to pursue a creative life on your own terms? Bobby takes us deep into his world as he navigates the unpredictable reality of being a touring comedian without a permanent address – something he calls "living flexibly" rather than homelessness.

When tour plans to Canada suddenly change, Bobby finds himself celebrating the 4th of July with his friend Tatum's family instead of performing abroad. The unexpected detour leads to building a trampoline in the Texas heat for Tatum's daughter and reflecting on how children understand (or don't understand) the value of time, money, an...

Bobby returns to the podcast after a month-long hiatus with a delightful chaos of stories from life on the road. Recorded outdoors in Bakersfield, California—a city where "everything's on fire" and the famous nu-metal band Korn (with that backward "R") originated—this episode captures the beautiful mayhem of a comedian's touring life.

From waking up in panic not knowing which city he's in, to the surprising contentment that comes with being "literally homeless and having the time of my life," Bobby shares a refreshingly honest perspective on choosing adventure over conventional adulthood. The contrast between friends with...

Freedom calls from the wide-open road as Bobby makes a life-changing decision to abandon apartment living and embrace nomadic comedy life. After a frustrating apartment hunt culminating in a deceptive 15-month lease attempt, Bobby walks away from conventional housing altogether in favor of living out of his car while touring the country.

This raw, honest episode captures the moment of transition as Bobby prepares to leave his Austin apartment for good. He calculates that out of the thirteen months he's paid rent, he's only spent about four to six months actually living there—a realization that makes hi...

Strap in for a wild ride as Bobby takes you on his recent adventure to New Jersey, where what started as a surprise appearance at his friend Venetia's 30th birthday spiraled into a week-long celebration that defied all expectations. From the moment he revealed himself on the balcony (causing tears of joy) to the hibachi dinner complete with sake squirted from water guns, every moment pushed the boundaries of adult fun.

It's not just about anger—it's about human connection in our modern world where we've traded physical confrontations for symbolic gestures.

Bobby takes us along on his recent comedy tour journey from Salt Lake City (where legendary comic Rory Scoville was performing next door) to downtown Los Angeles (where he accidentally wandered near Skid Row). The constant thread through th...

Ever found yourself digging metaphorical (or literal) holes you can't escape from? This episode dives deep into the beautifully chaotic reality of living with ADHD, territorial beach behavior, and those moments when we become the unexpected villains in our own stories.

Fresh from Naples, Florida (affectionately dubbed "Nipples, Florida"), I share my passionate dedication to beach hole digging that sparked an unexpected feud with a family over borrowed shovels. There's something primal about defending your sandy territory from strangers who don't respect the craft of hole construction! My frustration with these "shovel thieves" reveals a larger theme – th...

Bobby Rackleff chronicles his wild adventures as a touring comedian in this honest, hilarious episode that perfectly captures the beautiful chaos of life on the road.

Ever wonder what really happens when comedians hit the road together? Bobby takes us behind the curtain of comedy touring life, revealing both the hilarious disasters and tender moments that unfold when performers spend too much time in close quarters.

The adventure begins with a midnight dog hunt at Cactus Tatum's house before a painfully early flight. The panicked search through rainy streets ends with relief when the runaway pup is found at a neighbor's home—but it's just the first challenge of many. Bobby perfectly captures that stomach-dropping feeling of potential disaster, comparing it to "when th...

With knees that sound like "when you should take the popcorn out of the microwave," Bob explores the unique indignities of aging into your mid-30s. Just when you think you've figured life out, your body starts betraying you in increasingly vocal ways. The...

Sometimes life throws the hardest challenges at the best people.

Two comedians sitting by a lake, desperately thirsty, manifesting water into existence – the perfect metaphor for the creative comedy life. Bobby J.

The episode begins with unexpected revelations about their religious backgrounds, with LeMayr sharing stories of being a "fun Christian kid" who wore chicken suits for fundraisers and learned life lessons from the church uncles who cycled between jail and scripture. Both comedians confess their surprisingly late introductions to substances – LeMayr didn't drink unti...

Bobby J's comedic genius shines in this hilarious episode that transforms ordinary moments into laugh-out-loud reflections on modern life.

"I get to drink the blood," he jokes, while dissecting the peculiar practice of sharing wine cups during mass.

The podcast shifts to Bobby's dating adventures in Austin, where he finds himself tongue-tied during a grocery store encounter with a beautiful woman. His internal monologue captures...
